Ice Pellets Defined

Type of precipitation. Ice pellets or sleet are transparent or translucent bits of frozen water with a diameter less than 5 millimeters. To form, these pellets require an environment where raindrops develop in an atmosphere with a temperature above freezing and then fall into a lower layer of air with temperatures below freezing. In the lower layer of cold air the raindrops freeze into small ice pellets. Normally, to provide temperatures above freezing in the atmosphere above a colder atmospheric layer, an upper air temperature inversion, is required.

This definition is in context to Physical Geography. See more contextual defintions for Ice Pellets.
